It’s time we train again.
With lockdown restrictions easing, Sydney Uni Muay Thai (SUMT) is welcoming members back to training from Tuesday 23 June.
Your health and safety is always our top priority. To keep you safe, the coaching and executive team is activating a new training protocol.

Heightened safety measures to maintain hygiene
Maximum attendees capped to ensure social distancing
Elevated responsibilities for coaches and members
A new Covid-19 safety coordinator to steer the Club and protocol
